Church & Worship Place

At Advent Secure, we believe churches and houses of worship should remain beacons of hope, open to the lost, the hurting, and the stranger, without ever becoming fortresses sealed off from the community they serve. In North Carolina, where faith communities gather to nurture souls from bustling urban sanctuaries to quiet rural chapels, the rise in threats demands a smarter approach—one that empowers pastors, ushers, nursery volunteers, and congregants with proactive awareness, de-escalation mastery, and legal clarity long before danger knocks. Founded by law enforcement professionals who have responded to too many preventable tragedies, Advent Secure delivers tailored security solutions that preserve the spirit of openness while removing vulnerabilities that invite harm. We don't push armed guards or metal detectors that alienate visitors; instead, we transform everyday believers into quiet guardians through education-first training, custom risk assessments, and policies that align with North Carolina law, ensuring your flock stays safe, your doors stay welcoming, and your ministry thrives uninterrupted.

 

Our Church Building Risk Assessment (CBRA) begins with a thorough, compassionate walkthrough of your entire campus, from parking lots where families arrive at dawn to nurseries humming with children's laughter and sanctuaries filled with song. In just 3–6 hours on-site, we identify the hidden gaps that 94% of incidents exploit—overgrown shrubs creating blind corners for vandals, unlocked side doors tempting arsonists, dimly lit pathways risking assaults during evening services, or offering-counting rooms isolated like easy targets. Priced at $0.25–$1.25 per square foot with statewide travel included, we deliver a prioritized, photo-packed report: one-page executive summaries for busy elders, maps highlighting evacuation routes and barricade points, and a fix-it spreadsheet detailing low-cost solutions like $89 window film that has already stopped two active-shooter entries for our clients in 2025. We follow up with nursery-specific choke-point audits, youth-group egress plans, and even rooftop access ladders that teenagers on YouTube know how to exploit, all while recommending changes that qualify for insurance discounts averaging 11–18%.
